The Sea Wolf

This book comes from Jack London- the mind behind the classic- White Fang.

When fate lands Humphery van Weyden on board the 'Ghost', a sealing schooner bound for Japan, little does he know of the weeks of brutality which lie ahead. Captain Wolf Larsen is feared and despised by all on the board, and only the chance arrival of Maud Brewster spurs Van Weyden into action in a deaperate attempt to free them both from the terrifying power of the Sea- Wolf.
